I like it in DMLK it is very diverse and that is enjoyable. Our cultures and countries are represented but I would like the Hispanic culture to be more represented. We aren't represented as much as the other cultural and ethnic groups. But I would recommend coming to DMLK people are very friendly and open to making new connections.

This school is really diverse and welcoming to all students, however, the students that attend bring a lot of safety concerns and there are things that the administration can do to improve the school. They can also improve by bringing in AP classes and requiring students to apply for a certain amount of schoolarships in order to graduate so that motivates them because it will benefit the students in the future.

I have gone to this school for 3 years now and I have enjoyed my experiences and what this school has to offer. Although it is criticized for its past they have taken the time to make changes for the future generation of students to come and that is one thing I admire. The faculty and teachers are great support when needed and they are very helpful. Changes that I would like to see are better meals and more training resources for athletes.
